My Son Got Engaged Yesterday

She's a nice, quiet "Sister" he met at the mosque who apparently had her eyes on him for a while. A mutual friend told him about it. The mosque had a meet and greet and they were formally introduced there. I met her and one of her daughters once, a few months ago at the mosque my son attends. Then we went out for lunch. What I noticed about her is that she's a pragmatic person and I like that.

She had moved to North Carolina, so for the most part it's been a long distance relationship. They are on the phone a few times daily and do Quranic readings and other studies together at night. She has flown to N.J. a couple of times since they started courting and stays with her brother's family. My son has flown down there a few times; he is there now and will fly back tomorrow. He has to stay at a hotel each time because they can't stay together without being married.

She already made it clear that she does not want him to have to move to N.C. because even though he could transfer within the same company, he would face a significant cut in pay. So she and her developmentally disabled daughter will move back up here after she finishes her class in December, which is for advancement of her career in child care. The sisters at the mosque, where she was quite active, love her and will be happy about her return. Even though her daughter is developmentally disabled, she has quite a gregarious personality, which I enjoyed. And she loves my son. I'm happy and excited for them.

I rejoice with you. May their union be happy and harmonious. 🌙
 
Diva, I'm happy for you, your son, and your future daughter-in-law. Thanks for sharing the good news! May their marriage be filled with joy and everlasting love. ❤️
 
Wow, this is great news. This will open a whole new chapter in your life. I have no doubt she is going to love her MIL, and that the two of you and her daughter are going to cultivate an endearing relationship. Congrats ! ❤️

Thank each of you so much for your wonderful well wishes❣️ I will certainly share them with my son and future DIL.
Doug, what a nice thing to say about my son❣️
Jules and Bob. how sweet of you to say those lovely things about me❣️
@StarSong Yes, he's been living with me since my DIL passed away. He's my only biological child. You probably already know I have a few honorary ones. 😄

Bob, turns out I'll have 5 "new" step-grands. Either I didn't know, or forgot that she has 3 sons as well. All her children are adults. The young men have their own families. The young ladies currently live with their mom. Her youngest daughter (23 I believe) plans to stay in N.C. One of her sons works for the airline so family flies for free. Hopefully my son will get free flights as well.
